nice ute mate. why the auto?

Hey boosted,

Yeah really like my ride.

Auto... Well I really liked this car with these rims, it had very low k's on it and I got it for a very good price!

Manual would be good but I thought I would go through tyre's too quickly and with my experience of manuals they are a pain in Peak hour traffic.

A decent manual conversion will cost (at least) half the price of a blower, and you get what? The ability to change gears when you want. Don't waste money on a conversion (IMO). Have you been in a blown car Zombie? If not we'll tee it up when I come down to Melb sometime soon.

Hey Wikky,

Yeah when say it like that, it makes sense... go the blower.
The whole manual thing is just good when want to give it a bit but i guess not having the manual keeps me out of trouble.
Ive never had the chance to be in a blown car. That would be great if you could take me for a spin.

No worries at all mate. BUT, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to shove "buy a blower cos they're the be all and end all of power etc" down your throat. You may not like how the power and torque is delivered. You may find you prefer the power delivery of a turbo. That's why if you're serious about going forced induction you need to go for a drive in as many different cars as possible. That's where speaking to a few tuners and organising a ride in their cars is a top idea. I went for a drive in a heap of cars before deciding which way I wanted to go (single turbo, twin turbo, blower, big cam/head etc to stay naturally aspirated), and just loved the instant power of the blower. Anyway, I'll take you for a spin and you can go from there.

do both if you have the $$$ blower and gearbox conversion. if i had an auto ute, i know what i would be changin first. lol

Hey Luke641,

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah im pretty happy how it looks, I wanted something that turned heads and wasnt too over the top. Saying that I've been thinking Forced Induction haha.

The photos of the head unit arn't mine, they are photos of "VZ Storm Ute"'s set up and yeah he can watch TV on it.
